UK, Ireland / Unemployed Poles in Ireland : a crash course in milking the system [323]


Nothing other than the fact that a guy who's responsible for the death of that poor woman is a Pole. Of course, it doesn't mean that all Poles are criminals and we all know it.

a very sad story indeed. If I was a Pole, I'd take care of that SOB just to show the locals that not all Poles are criminals (we all know you're not but those of you who are, are seriously messing up your reputation).

Language / What is the proper term for Gesundheit ? [7]

Gesundheit is used to wish good health to a person who has just sneezed so I guess it would be something like "na zdrowie" but I might be wrong here.

I can only speak for myself and I'll tell you Harry, I support Romney because Obama sucks as a president and just about anyone will be a better president than him. Not that Romney is perfect though.

I don't know now but i 2004 when I lived there, I was paying 1000 PLN for a little, two bedroom house (near the lake).

I'm talking about people who permanently live in the US (or Poland for that matter).

USA, Canada / Who is better informed, the expat or the Polonia crowd? [144]


no it shouldn't. Adult people should be making adult decisions and if you decided to leave your country behind, you should carry the consequences of it and in this case, learn the language of a country you live in. Btw. you guys are expecting the same thing from us when we live in Poland too.

USA, Canada / Who is better informed, the expat or the Polonia crowd? [144]


"There are, I kid you not", Poles in the US who have been here for over 30 years and still don't speak English (met a Polish female from Chicago who lived here for 33 years and speaks very poor English).

???

Is that what you really think about the US? I hope not because despite our different political views, I always thought you're a smart guy.

USA, Canada / Who is better informed, the expat or the Polonia crowd? [144]


the answer is, whoever cares to be informed but it certainly helps to live in Poland to know more about it.

I'd rather see it all banned from circulation. I absolutely disagree with legalizing drugs (any drugs), it's bad enough we have to deal with alcohol and nicotine addicts, no need to add illegal drugs to it.

Poland won't die if your people will stay in Poland instead going abroad (not talking about tourism) as much they do.

valid question. I feel the same way about people who come here and then b**ch about everything.

USA, Canada / Animosity against second and third generation poles ? [26]


It looks like you're getting a little confused, my friend ;-)

USA, Canada / Animosity against second and third generation poles ? [26]


"Animosity against second and third generation poles ?"

You're comparing numbers,that have absolutely NOTHING to do with this thread and you're telling me, I'm off topic, LOL

(another "we're smarter and better", thread)

USA, Canada / Animosity against second and third generation poles ? [26]


It's measurable if you open your eyes and compare achievements of people in different countries. You can't take numbers for granted, especially when the presented difference (your post) isn't very convincing.

USA, Canada / Animosity against second and third generation poles ? [26]

OK boletus, now ask yourself what all these numbers mean in reality? Do they make you more successful in life? Another question is, what is more important, a high IQ or common sense?

USA, Canada / Animosity against second and third generation poles ? [26]


yeah, on a high school level, maybe, however from my personal experience in Europe, your kids are (in the meantime), just as dumb as ours but when it comes to universities, whatever you've heard, was just a rumor. You can't always listen to people, my friend.

USA, Canada / Animosity against second and third generation poles ? [26]


Why do you care what people (here) say? If this is really what you want to do, just do it and don't ask anyone.


I think, you're getting something mixed up here, man.

What do you call "recovered territories"?

Yeah, from a "business' point of view you're certainly right but historically, it was much longer in Polish hands than its western parts.

What you said is like choosing a stranger over your family member.

if you put it that way, none of your neighbors can be really happy with your borders but it is what it is, be happy to live in peace.
